The Herschell Carrousel
Factory Museum, housed in the historic Allan Herschell Company Factory building
at 180 Thompson St., North Tonawanda, hosts its "Halloween
Spooktacular" from 5:30m to 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19.

This family-friendly event is appropriate for even the
youngest ghosts and goblins. Children and their parents can enjoy Halloween
games, crafts and treats within the safety and comfort of the museum. Join in
for a fun-filled night of "frog bowling," "pin the nose on the pumpkin," "witch
hat hula hoop toss" and more hilarious Halloween games. Children will enjoy
making crafts such as paper pumpkins, tissue ghosts and scary spiders. The
museum's talented wood carvers will be on hand to demonstrate carving
techniques. The finished products, along with other great items for kids and
adults, will be raffled off at the end of the evening. And Charlie and Checkers
will present a special comedy magic show.

The cost for this
frighteningly fun event is $8 for children ages 2 to 12 and $2 for adults
(sorry, no coupons or passes accepted). Children must be accompanied by an
adult. Admission includes all activities, refreshments, a treat bag for
children, and a ride on the carrousel. For more information, call the museum at
716-693-1885.
